Template:Mvarb/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Mvarb. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
The {{mvarb}} template is the bold-formatting counterpart to the italics-set {{mvar}}. {{mvarb}} makes the first parameter (required) bold and formats as mathematics. It is used to refer to individual variables in normal running text. It should not be used within a {{math}} template.
Note that digits in a variable name are conventionally not bold, so {{mvarb}} accepts a 2nd parameter as an undecorated subscript (but it will still be formatted in the same mathematics font as {{math}}). For example, {{mvarb|x|1}} is a convenient shorthand for {{math|''x''<sub>1</sub>}} to produce x1.
Functions and variables made up of multiple letters are conventionally set in upright letters so {{math}} should be used in that case too; for example {{math|cos}} to produce cos.
